The lecture, part of the Council’s programme of 20th Anniversary events, was attended by around 150 people with a professional or personal interest in bioethics.

The lecture proved enormously popular with the near-capacity audience and it was followed by an enthusiastic discussion which continued during a drinks reception hosted by the Council afterwards.
